Primary decision behind this is that different markets have different exploitation requirements.

One can use LL)1 or LL01FE or LL-17FE etc. Motul 8100 X-CESS GEN2 5W40 is now in stock and ready for shipping or local pickup orders We also have the GEN2 X-CLEAN on the way. All of the recent BMW's require LL01FE or LL-17FE.Īll BMW new engines are approved for LL01 and FE oils. So, which 2019MY+ BMW's require LL-01? That is the baffling part to me. Compared to the existing products, both gen2 products have higher shear stability, longer oil life, and enhanced piston deposit control to avoid LSPI." "No compromises were made as the new OEM tests required a stronger additive package to maintain the BMW approval for 2019+ or receive new approvals from Porsche/VW (in the case of X-clean). Switched to Motul for it's HTHS and low/mid SAPS properties. Xcess is a 'lower cost' 5W-40 and and X-Max is 0W-40. The higher performance oils have a x-40 or higher. If your under warranty and want to use the required oil all the Motul 8100 5w-30s are probably ok. I switched to this oil from Eneos 5w30 since I wasn't comfortable with the low viscosity result I received from the first sample I submitted. 4 (Edited) All Motul product are well respected.
#XCESS VS XCLEAN STI MANUAL#
"Our primary reason for reformulating was due to new standards from BMW to meet their improved LL-01 and LL-04 standards on 2019+ vehicles, but it also gave us a chance to achieve the new Porsche C40 approval on our X-clean 5W40 gen2 product." Figure it's cheap maintenance vs letting it run to 6000 like the manual suggests. Question: Whats the difference from the original x cess 5w40 I have a 13 sti and have been using the same oil. Don’t push the oil change intervals beyond 4-5k though. Answer: No problem mixing the old and new. Proposition 65: P65 WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm Buy in monthly payments with Affirm on orders over 50. Both of these oils have a high HTHS so they will stay in grade better than GF5 oils and are cat friendly. MOTUL 8100 5W40 X-cess Gen 2 100 Synthetic Motor Oil 5L. Like I said I used to live in downtown so lots of stop and go trips 5-10km. Once out of warranty on Rotella T6 5w40 or Motul Xcess 8100 5w40. Https:/ / / forums/ 991/ 1087028-introduction-motul-6.html The new Shell Rotella T6 5W-30 MV is another good choice if you’re looking for lower ZDDP oils like the reduced SAPS Xclean. Pretty short OCI's of 4,000 - 6,000 kms (2,500 - 3,750 miles), started on conventional, then switched to synthetic 5w30 while subaru did service for warranty.
